blog travels | seasonal decor

it's been a crazy couple of weeks in onyx feather world. gift giving season = a busy time for the line. while i love attending all the christmas events & parties in dc  every night i just can't ::wait:: for the city to slow down again during the new year. i will miss all the christmas lights and decor all over the city though. aren't these party horns from kate's paperie fun? they get you in the new year's eve spirit.

onyx feather | invisible children update

what a wonderful week. got to send out the first quarterly onyx feather check to the invisible children legacy scholarship fund! it makes all the hectic, crazy moments associated with this line so worth it. thank you to every customer, friend, supporter, blogger, publication, and tribe member that made this possible.  invisible children is such a remarkable organization and i’m grateful you would use your purchasing power to join the mission of using art to help create a positive impact in the lives of war-affected children.

step it up | buttery booties

have been such a bad blogger! no more though. just got back from a trip to new york city and discovered: sweet milk gelato from eataly (bite-your-tongue-delicious),  amy’s bread biscuits (they didn't even need butter), and some beautiful stones and crystals for holiday custom order pieces i'm currently fulfilling. i'm losing my *brilliant* intern to this wonderful/creative/dirty city and i wouldn't have it any other way! more about that in another post.

so excited to catch up on the blogs and pretty internet things i’ve been missing. how about these buttery scalloped booties to start out with? (would look stunning with heather gray tights.) and this set of white veneto trunks with silver hardware? only $60!  perfect for concealing a disorganized mess in a stylish way.
